Patent CA-2431912-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANDERSEN JENS OLE BROCHNER
IPC: D04H1/732
Filed: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A plant serves for removing fines from fibre fluff. The plant comprises a forming head arranged for air-laying fibre fluff into a layer upon a forming wire, at least one channel for carrying fibres from a supply of fibres into the forming head. The mesh count of the forming wire mainly allow only fines contained in the fluff to pass the forming wire. The troublesome and costly filtering of the water used in a hydroentangling process is advantageously eliminated when using fluff, which is free from fines by means of the plant according to the invention. Air-laid webs produced of the fine-free fibres also have a high quality.

Title: Sushi peptides, processes for making and uses thereof
Inventor: HO BOW
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2003-07-04
Abstract: Endotoxin, also known as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), is the major mediator of septic shock due to Gram-negative bacterial infection. Chemically synthesized S3 peptide, derived from Sushi3 domain of Factor C, which is the endotoxin-sensitive serine protease of the limulus coagulation cascade, binds and neutralizes LPS activity.      Fluorescent tagged-S3 is shown to detect LPS-containing bacteria. For large-scale production of S3 and to mimick other pathogen-recognizing molecules, tandem multimers of the S3 gene were constructed and expressed in E. coli.      Tetramer of S3 is shown to display an enhanced inhibitory effect on LPS-induced activities. An affinity matrix bases on tetramer of S3 is also shown to be particularly efficient at removing LPS.

Patent CA-2433472-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THARP EDWARD W
IPC: G06F17/21
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: Described is a mechanism for issuing a.n event notification message, from a first program to a second program, to indicate that an action occurred within the first program, where the event notification message includes a parameter that indicates that the action is one of a group of possible actions. More specifically, in an application configured to edit documents created with the eXtensible Markup Language XML, the occurrence of an XML-related action causes the event notification message to be issued. The XML-related action may be either an XML-related move action, an XML-related insert action, or an XML-related delete action.  In this way, a single event notification message can be used to indicate the occurrence of three different types of actions while editing an XML document.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-08-22
Abstract: A Collection Processing System enables people to perform complex computation al operations on large sets of collections, using a simple and convenient synta x for collection symbolic job requests. A collection symbolic job request is comprised of a user-defined symbolic task name, and a collection reference expression that can refer to large sets of collections. Collections are data-typed sets of computer files that can be manipulated as a set, rather than as individual files. In operation, a Collection Processing System receives a collection symbolic job request from a request originator, and expands the symbolic job request into a list of executable commands that carry out t he computational intent of the symbolic job request. First-level symbolic task names are expanded into sequences of second-level task part statements, and then into third-level executable computer commands that are dynamically generated into customized, optimal makefiles. Collection reference expressions are expanded into lists of job triplets comprised of a particular collection name, a computing platform name, and a processing dependency visit order value. The present invention applies third-level executable commands to job triplets to carry out the original collection symbolic job request, in a distributed, multiplatform,scalable way that was not previously known to the art.

IPC: G01V1/02
Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: A method for seismic exploration using nonlinear conversions (e.g., item 6, Fig. 10) between electromagnetic and seismic energy. Seismic returns from a source waveform (e.g., item 180, Fig. 7A) are correlated with a reference waveform (item 150, Fig. 5B), with both waveforms designed to minimize both correlation side lobes and interference from linear electroseismic effects. A waveform element (e.g., item 10, Fig 1A) is selected to be sequenced by a binary or similar digital code designed to generate an input sweep with the needed depth penetration and noise suppression. Correlation of the seismic response with the reference waveform in a data processing step mathematicall y aggregates the seismic response from the input sweep into a single wavelet (e.g., item 160, Fig. 6A). Preferred binary digital codes include prescribed Britains of maximal length shift-register sequences (e.g., item 100, Fig. 3A ).
